I have been playing with the Stampin’ Up! Gears and Textures Stamps and Dies. This is a great bundle for those boys cards – or for those who like the Steampunk style. This would work so well.
This is the card.
I teamed it with the Nature Walk Designer Series Paper. The sentiment is from the Fabulous Sayings set that was the Product of the Month for January.
If you struggle with Masculine cards maybe this one will fill in that gap for you. It has different sizes wheels and strips that work together.
If you would love to order it or other products and you are in Australia head to that link or Contact me directly. I would love to help you grab that to solve that manly card dilemma.
I have been sharing a lot of projects with the Painted Illusions Paper on Facebook. You might have caught them there but I will try and share them here for you to catch.
Did you notice the wavy patterns in the Painted Illusions Paper? I thought it would be cool to cut along the wavy outline to add to the card front. There are lots of different wavy formations on this paper so you could create any effect.
And I dragged out the fun Trusty Tools set.
I think this Trusty Tools set works well with the paper. And it’s great to pull out some of the older sets to create with. Sometimes they get a little neglected.
What do you think of the curvy lines in the paper? How could you use them?
The Painted Illusions Paper is the February Product of the Month.
I do love the colours and the patterns in this paper.
Wednesday’s WOW! #169.Some Fresh New Colours for creating Masculine Cards.
Do you find Masculine cards hard to make? I know I do. I resort to the blues, browns, yellows, reds.
Well, I have some fresh new colours to try.
What do you think? What colours will you try out next??
This is good timing with Father’s Day coming up soon here in Australia. But these are great for Birthdays and any other occasion for the boys. Big and Little Ones.
So maybe Pin this Image above or Save it so you can turn to it when you have some cards to make.
Happy Crafting,
Jenny
If you are in Australia and need some crafting supplies I would love to help you get them. You can head to my Store Online -> HERE OR Contact me directly.
Today with Sunday Suites we will have a look at the Let’s Go Fishing Suite.
It’s coming up to Father’s Day next month here in Australia. So perhaps this might work for some Aussie readers for the men in their life. And it’s not just for the fishermen.
The full Let’s Go Fishing Suite Collection.
The Suite includes:
GONE FISHING PHOTOPOLYMER STAMP SET
GONE FISHING DIES (If you get the dies and stamps as a bundle you save 10%).
TWISTED ROPE 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER
LET’S GO FISHING 12″ X 12″ (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER
The Gone Fishing Bundle.
I love how there is even the die for a tackle box. But I have seen that used for lots of other images too.
Here is the Let’s Go Fishing Paper in more detail. There are some prints that you can use for any occasion not just for the fisherman (or fisherwoman). 🙂
The colours in the paper are: Boho Blue, Calypso Coral, Misty Moonlight, Mossy Meadow, Pebbled Path, Pecan Pie, Petal Pink, Very Vanilla, Wild Wheat.
What about this Twisted Rope 3D Embossing Folder. It looks pretty cool. You can see a sample using it further below. But consider using it for other “non-masculine” cards even. What fun!
Now for a sample group. Lots of ideas.
You can see a bit clearer on this card below how you can use the Twisted Roper Embossing Folder. It adds quite a bit of texture. If you rub some ink over with a Blending Brush it highlights some of the “rope”.
The Let’s Go Fishing Suite can be seen more in my store -> HERE.
And you can shop there too if you need some crafting supplies and you are in Australia. If shopping online please use the Host Code: R663PWDW.

Some simple stamping for you on this Sunday. And since I have been playing a lot with the Adventurous Journey Stamp Set I thought I would keep this one simple.
Just a 3 stamped boats on a card with a sentiment.
The sentiment is from the Waves of Inspiration Stamp Set and it was diecut with the Beautiful Shapes Dies. The red banner was just a strip of Real Red card and I snipped some banner ends with scissors. Then some Red Rhinestones to finish. You can have bling on Male cards right. 🙂
Have a great Sunday.

Another card with the Adventurous Journey. I have loved this stamp set. Really! It’s a great one for the boys cards – or the adventurer.
I have used the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper which is an awesome pack of paper. It is a Host Rewards item from the current Mini Catalogue that you can redeem with your orders. It has paper suitable for Christmas, birthdays, Halloween even but suitable for lots of occasions.
The kayaker was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends.
I have more with this set that I will share with you over time so watch out for them.

I have been playing a lot with the Adventurous Journey stamp set lately. It’s such a great one for the boys cards. It was fun to use this in class last week too.
I wanted to try something a little different. I have noticed Book Binding Fold cards around and thought that would work well.
Here is the card.
The outside.
The kayaker was coloured with the Stampin’ Blends. For the sentiment I stamped the words on the Balmy Blue card and Crushed Curry Card. Then diecut them with the long sentiment die in the Sending Dies. It was easy to just trim them down.
I find that a lot easier than trying to squeeze a sentiment on a thin strip of card.
The paper is from the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper pack which is a Host Reward in the Mini Catalogue. It’s great paper by the way. It has such a range of colours and prints. Why not take a closer look at it.
This is the inside.
I think I will just have to put together a video soon for it. So stay tuned on that.
